How exactly is zionism not Jewish exceptionalism? Are white Christians also able to steal a house in the west bank?
Jewish exceptionalism is the invalidation of otherwise valid criticism based solely on the actor's Jewishness. Jonathan Greenblatt literally said this week that the Jewish intermarriage rate is "worrying", and has received zero backlash from media because... it is jewish exceptionalism.
The same way so many criticism of "israel" have been ignored for almost a century, because it is taboo for some reason to call out atrocities done by israel because they have successfully made themselves synonymous to Jewish identity to the "normal" person.
Also white is a construct. Italians were not white. Irish were not white. Jewish people are arguably part of the white population. It can be taken away at any point in time, but the same goes for any ethnic group.
Zionism can be both white supremacist and also Jewish exceptionalism.
